BACKGROUND Postpartum stress urinary incontinence(SUI)symptoms affect a patient’s daily activities and quality of life and increase the negative emotions that they experience.At present,there is no research on the effect of fractional CO_(2)laser treatment combined with Kegel exercise on postpartum SUI and postpartum depression and anxiety.AIM To investigate the effect of lattice CO_(2)laser treatment combined with Kegel exercise on mild to moderate postpartum SUI and its influence on postpartum depression and anxiety.METHODS Using a retrospective study,data from 82 cases of mild to moderate postpartum SUI in Huzhou Maternal&Child Health Care Hospital from January to April 2024 were retrospectively collected.The cases were divided into groups according to the different treatment methods,namely Group S(41 cases,only receiving lattice CO_(2)laser treatment)and Group L(41 cases,receiving lattice CO_(2)laser combined with Kegel exercise treatment).The baseline data of the two groups were compared.In addition,we analyzed and compared the scores of the international commission on urinary incontinence questionnaire short form(ICI-Q-SF),incontinence quality of life questionnaire(I-QOL),Edinburgh postnatal depression scale(EPDS),and postpartum specific anxiety scale(PSAS)before treatment,at the end of treatment,and 3 months after the end of treatment between the two groups.Furthermore,the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were analyzed and compared at the end of treatment and 3 months after the end of treatment.RESULTS There was no significant difference in the baseline data and the ICI-Q-SF,I-QOL,EPDS,and PSAS scores between the two groups before treatment.However,at the end of treatment,the ICI-Q-SF,I-QOL,EPDS,and PSAS scores between Groups L and S were significantly different.The overall effective rate of treatment in Group L was significantly higher than that in Group S.During the 3-month follow-up after treatment,it was found that the ICIQ-SF,EPDS,and PSAS scores of Group L were still lower than those of Group S.In comparison,the I-QOL score and total effective rate of treatment were still higher in Group L than those in Group S,and this difference was significant.There was no significant difference in the adverse reactions between Group L and Group S.CONCLUSION The combination of dot lattice CO_(2)laser and Kegel exercise has a significant therapeutic effect on mild to moderate postpartum SUI.It can prolong the duration of therapeutic effects,improve a patient’s quality of life,and alleviate postpartum depression and anxiety.
